Morning Dew


The drip of morning dew
So delicate
And smooth
And when the sun
Shines just right
It sparkles 
In dawns early light
Small water droplets
Trickle down a leaf
Leaving a wet streak 
In their wake
Like tears
As they glide down a face
By the end of the leaf
Dew droplets bind together
Right before they fall
Like a family
Hugging goodbye
Ground comes to meet them
Splitting them apart
Away they go
Onto something else
Do not fear
They won’t be lonesome long
For the sun shall help them out
Making them evaporate
In the clouds they shall bind 
Joined together another time
Nestled close
They will wait
Till they are needed
Upon earth’s gate
As they fall 
Hugging tight
No one frets
For they know
They will find each other 
Once again

  • Awaiting An Invitation

    Tree limbs dance in
    the breeze of baited breath,
    roots threaten to break ground zero.
    time;
    too much
    too little
    only the trees understand 
    me

    glass stregthens
    mirrors melt
    clouds converge and darkness reigns

    Sentenced

    I am guilty

    The bars which restrain me
    are but my own fault

    I am guilty

    The lifeless walls
    frozen, unfeeling
    yield no give as I fight to break free

    My crimes:
    To want,
    the stars

    Only A Memory

    The wind
    brushes my cheek, with a kiss. 
    Neck craned, my eyes
    skim the sky in bliss

    The scene before me,
    a canvas to interpret,
    I stare, deep within the soul of each star
    this game I refuse to forfeit.
